government programs often require compliance to all sorts of requirements
In some situations those requirements may be nonsensical or even actively harmful. One usual harmful pattern is using the heuristics “we help more to those who need to be helped most” to detect people trying to improve their situation and then excessively reduce the help given to them. Soon it become common knowledge that if you try to help yourself, you may end worse.
